This course will guide students through a variety of research methods that informs and motivates their artistic practice to incorporate into their creative work. Students will identify and analyze the themes/questions/issues present in their work while conducting multidisciplinary research (including writers, filmmakers, scientists, and visual and performing artists) with similar concerns. While executing original research, students develop the groundwork for their written thesis that will be produced in the following semester, by producing short drafts of papers and working bibliographies.
